'Ruben Guthrie' by Brendan Cowell
Wednesday, 22 May 2013 - Saturday, 25 May 2013
Drama Lab, ANU Arts Centre, Union Court

Ruben Guthrie is on fire. He's the Creative Director of a cutting-edge advertising agency, he's engaged to a Czech supermodel and Sydney is his oyster. He pours himself a drink to celebrate, a drink to work, a drink to sleep and one night he drinks so much he thinks he can fly. 'Ruben Guthrie' is a brutally honest comedy about confronting and accepting change, spiralling high, crashing hard and the role of alcohol in Australian society.
